Hi ive not been around for a long time due to work etc...
anyway.. had my poor rabbit back & forth to the vets over last couple weeks..
it started out as having back teeth problems, had same problem 2 yrs ago, got infectious, blind in one eye.. vet assured me over & over its not my fault cos thumper never showed any illness (to which rabbits hardly ever do) he ate & drank as normal & played, it was through a routine check up the vet noticed the teeth problem,
Anyway after having them fixed he is now soooo congested with that damn horrible infection again, came from his tear duck, then his nose but hasnt been any signs of it in the last week, hes about 6-7 yrs of age, dwarf lopear (male), been told its in his sinus not on his chest (thank god), he makes these awful noises sometimes (that horrible snotty gurgling noise) i could cry sometimes as it sounds so sad.
he was an outside rabbit, but no longer, hes got te freedom of our home & a lovely cage with removable tray with hay/straw/water/nuggets
hes on anti biotics/vitamins & recovery food oh & Bisolvon to help with his congestioness..
I know rabbits live all diff ages cos of various reasons & the vet said hes never seen such a fighter in a rabbit as through his 35 years experience as a vet he said they normally give up..
he drinks from anywhere of 50ml to 100ml water every 2 days & nibbles at his nuggets & recovery food (sachet mixed with water) mixed into his nuggets..
He doesnt run around the home, 90% of the time he likes to be in his cage, hes not frightened, i think he likes to be near his water, he likes his cuddles in his bunny fury bed from me on my lap & talked to..
he is very thin, boney, he has never been a big bunny at all, he never liked grass or hay to eat, but has always had the best foods via nuggets & fresh foods & oats..
So im asking anyone is there anything more i can be doing for him? the vet is kind, weve known him for about 15 yrs now & is brilliant with all of our animals, always have time for them & never rushes appointments & i believe he gives the very best aproach with treatments...
so tis is mainly for my piece of mind, do you think he can recover from this dreadful infection that his teeth has caused?
i nurse him morning & night with anti biotics/eye drops/ & Bisolvon.. to those who dont know what Bisolvon is, its what are given to cows to help with their congestion/mucas problems they get & helps them to breath a little better through their nose
Thank you for any response & for reading this on behalf of myself & Thumper xxxx
